Yoshinobu Satake

A military commander from the Azuchi-Momoyama period to the early Edo period. Lord of Kubota (Akita). First son of Yoshishige. Born on July 16, 1230, in Ota Castle, Hitachi Province (Hitachi Ota City, Ibaraki Prefecture). His childhood name was Tokujumaru and his pen name was Jiro. He fought against Hojo Ujimasa and Date Masamune, murdered 33 castles (33 local lords) in the southern part of Hitachi, seized Mito Castle from Edo Shigemichi and made it his castle, becoming a daimyo with a fief of over 540,000 koku. However, Yoshiaki, who supported Ishida Mitsunari, was hated by Tokugawa Ieyasu for his ambiguous attitude during the Battle of Sekigahara, and was transferred to Dewa with a fief of 200,000 koku in 1602 (Keicho 7). He made Kubota Castle his residence, eliminated the local lords, and established the clan system. He was an upstanding person, and once rescued Ishida Mitsunari when he was about to be killed by Fukushima Masanori and others. He died on January 25, 1621.

安土(あづち)桃山~江戸初期の武将。久保田(秋田)藩主。義重(よししげ)の長子。元亀(げんき)元年7月16日常陸(ひたち)国太田城(茨城県常陸太田市)に生まれる。幼名は徳寿丸(とくじゅまる)、字(あざな)は次郎と称す。北条氏政(うじまさ)や伊達政宗(だてまさむね)と戦い、常陸の南方(みなみかた)三十三館(国人領主33氏)を謀殺し、江戸重通(しげみち)から水戸城を奪って居城とし、54万石余の大名となった。しかし、石田三成(みつなり)派であった義宣は、関ヶ原の戦いで徳川家康からそのあいまいな態度を憎まれて、1602年(慶長7)に出羽(でわ)20万石に転封させられた。久保田城を居城とし、土豪勢力を排除して藩体制を確立した。石田三成がかつて福島正則(まさのり)らに殺害されようとしたとき救助するなど律義な性格であった。寛永(かんえい)10年正月25日死去。
